Abstract
Data replication groups may be used to store data in a distributed computing environment. The data replication groups may include a set of nodes executing a consensus protocol to maintain data durably. In order to increase the speed of provisioning, a data replication may be provision with less than the total number of nodes to be included in the group. Once an initial set of nodes have been provisioned and are implementing a consensus protocol, the data replication group may begin to receive traffic. Furthermore, new nodes may be added to the group until the total number of nodes for the group has been reached.
